Hello Krzysztof,
An image with a highly dramatic content.
I recognize this street but I've never looked at it on this way.
It looks like we're going to plunge into the depths.
Good placement of the different persons and the pigeon.
Best regards, Paul

The B&W picture downhill's Lisboa, with your artistic approach, has a breat and unusual texture, Krzysztof.
Somehow the place, which i remember it - looks a bt older now...
Fine taken special POV upon.
Have a nice weekend,
Ike

Ciao Krzysztof
la tua eccellente tecnica fotografica e le postproduzioni in bianco e nero ritornano prepotentemente alla ribalta con questa serie di foto dedicate alla cittŕ di Lisbona.
Questa č particolarmente degna di nota per la particolare inquadratura presa all'altezza del suolo, per il soggetto e per le mille sfumature di grigio che disegnano una cittŕ bella e drammatica.
Gestione della luce e del contrasto straordinaria.
Complimenti
Ciao e buon fine settimana
Romano

Hello Krzysztof,

It seem or you very gladly works in black and white, I am born in the black and white time.
Maybe is this the choose that I want colour, but the choice remains to the photographer
You create a lot depth and perspective, the rails lead us to very far in background.
Sharpness and clarity are pleasant to look at.
An excellent composition.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John

Hi Kryzsztof
This is a brilliant way to portray this street, the unusual angle works brilliantly and makes it look like a scene from a movie. There is a lot to see inside the image and every single last detail has been captureed with perfect clarity. In addition to that, the angle you chose with the rail in the bottom right opens another whole world as well, it almost seems that we plunge fit down into that rail and find anoth whole world down there. It almost looks like the edges of the rail are the rope of skyscrapers lining another smaller street there. Beautiful vision and excellent photo.
Thanks as always
Noel

Krzysztof Witaj, great composition with this particular view of this famous street of Lisbon, very well captured in this interesting picture with good sharpness, depth, light and good quality. Excellent and interesting job perfectly done, congratulations my friend. Thanks for sharing this beautiful work.

Good night and good Sunday.
All the best from southern Spain.
Angel.

Hello Kryzsztof,
Wow - this is tremendous. It is so dynamic with its strong lead-in lines and tilt. I love the contrast and grittiness of the b/w tones. The pigeon in the FG adds well to the FG space.
Excellent work.
Kind Regards, Ann

Hi Krzysztof
freaking awesome buddy!
this is so cool.
I'll have to go back to this photo when i travel to Lisbon in the near future - at some point.

this is HDR as well right? did you focus on the road? was that your focal point for the camera?

the pov and depth are excellent.
unique shot!
cheers

Hello Krzysztof,
welcome back! This is a fascinating presentation of the most picturesque street in Lisbon. You managed to include all of the street's distinct features and through the rhythm of the well bound diagonals, the rich textures, numerous details and atmospheric monochrome, give us a very thorough description that's timeless. The perspective has amazing impact, the dominating tint of the monochrome confirms your creative approach. The people and the pigeon transcend the graphism and add soul. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely Sunday,
Ourania

Witaj Krzysztof,
well chosen the B/W format of this world wide picturesque street of Lisbon.
I like the creative perspective with the trails to lead-in the eye on the backdrop of the scene,on the sea.Excellent presentation.

Have a good Sunday,Danos

Hello Krzysztof
an original and arty take on this fine city. I love the POV and the B&W treatment its works so beautifully.

Inspiring and unique imagery!

Enjoy your Sunday - B.

SnapRJW (31631) 2014-12-07 6:12

Hi Krzysztof - Not one who generally likes tilted horizons I have to say it really works here. Together with your low POV it combines to give the image incredible dynamism. We are swept into the scene by the tram lines. Your PP work emphasises the grittiness of the street scene where textures and lines are creatively revealed.

Super

Warm regards

Rosemary

Mr. Krzysztof,

Hey bud, great to see this one here as well...happy to catch another post! You already know how much I love this shot, so I won't go into much detail...other than to reiterate my thoughts on just how wonderfully this has been taken, processed and presented. :)

This epitomizes one of the compositional elements I've grown to utilize myself, the angled arrangement adds that little extra dynamic appeal...an "artsy" touch if you will. :) An how perfect that a pigeon would have his place in the frame, a superb street shot and portrait, all at the same time. lol Awesome work my friend! Hope the weekend is going well. Take it easy.

Cheers from the sunny skies of Phoenix,

Jason

Krys

Wow! This shot has real impact because of the point of view and the depth. Very very well composed. I hope no trams were coming when you did this!

Big Fish! OMG! I lust for the food in that place!

I am going to Australia on 26th December so will stop posting for a while until I get settled over there. Have a great Xmas my friend and I hope to see you in the New Year!

Cheers

Mike

Witaj Krzychu,

Niesamowity efekt i jak to przeczytałam, a sama sie juz domysliłam przedtem, to ten Silver effex działa takie cuda. super kompozycja, bardzo mi sie podoba. Ostrośc jak brzytwa. Pewnie kolorowe tez byloby ciekawe. Tam jeżdżą takie żółte i chyba tez srebrne tramwaje.
Wybierasz sie do Japonii? Gdybys miał jakies praktyczne pytania, to służę radą. ja w styczniu jadę do Ameryki PLd.

Pozdrawiam serdecznie

MAłgorzata

Hi Krzysztof!
This is just great and completely original! I like your low pov in diagonal, the pigeon and all those people in background. I can see Lisbon here! A very good b&w!

Hello, my friend,
Sooo we were so close in Japan ;) May be next time, buddy. Perfect low point of view, these tram rails reminds me similar street in San Francisco. Perfect graphic, outstanding DoF, I do love this black&white graphic! Well done! My congratulations!
Best wishes! I hope to see your Japanese photos too!
